The Chanter

Friar: We are going to practice chanting, this morning. All together now, repeat after me: (Chanting) “This morning, morning, mor-or-or-or-ning.”

Monks: (Rather raggedly) This morning, morning, mor-or-or-or-ning.

Friar: Not bad, but we need to get more feeling and rhythm into it. Let's try again. (A couple more attempts are made, each one better, then on the third try it sounds excellent, but one Monk chants loud and clear, "E-e-e-ven-ning".)
